The beacon is full of fire, and I don't know the years.

The people of the capital can still spend the New Year secretly, but for the border passes, especially Yulin Town, it is impossible to have a trace of the taste of the New Year.

The Cossacks had already launched more than a dozen attacks against the Zhenbei army, and there were many battles on the scale of thousands of casualties on both sides.

Such a fierce battle could not be dealt with carefully by the Zhenbei army without fighting 120,000 points.

Wang Ziteng and others guessed that Fyodor was going to take advantage of the chaos of thieves in the rear of Dachu to level the important town of Yulin in one fell swoop.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that the entire Zhenbei army, almost undisturbed by his raiding cavalry, was still motionless and steady in front of his hundreds of thousands of cavalry.

Unshakable.

Now, more than a month after the offensive, Fyodor has also begun to feel sorry for the casualties, and the offensive has slowed down.

He didn't believe that under the situation of being attacked on the belly and back, the Zhenbei army could really be flawless all the time.

He was prepared to wait.

How did Wang Ziteng not understand his intentions. He snorted coldly in his heart, I don't know if we will show the flaw first or your tens of thousands of lone cavalry will be wiped out first.

Wang Ziteng is not afraid to wait.

There is still enough food and grass in the army!

These two months were very quiet for Jia Qing.

He wanted to go to the battlefield to feel it, but Wang Ziteng, Hou Xiaokang and others insisted on not allowing it, and they also gave him a grounding order......

In desperation, Jia Qing had no choice but to stay in the barracks, and in addition to consuming military rations every day, the most he did was to climb the seven or eight lookouts to observe the military situation of both the enemy and us.

It's not that it's not without gains, at least I have a relatively clear understanding of such a battlefield of hundreds of thousands of levels......

Even if you count the past and the present, there are not too many clan battles with such a large number of participants in history.

His soul was being baptized by war.

On this day, Wang Ziteng was discussing the military situation with his confidants, and Jia Qing was also standing aside to study, when suddenly there was a commotion in the army.

A lieutenant ran into the military tent and said loudly: "Oh no, General, there is a strange disease in the army, and it is suspected that it is an epidemic......

"What!"

The prince was shocked.

Perhaps the most taboo thing in marching and fighting is the plague, so the army is strictly guarded.

"Let's go, let's go and see it now!"

The prince didn't dare to delay for a moment, and immediately put aside the military affairs and walked out of the big tent.

Jia Qing also immediately followed.

It's no wonder that Wang Ziteng panicked, even if there is an epidemic among the people, it is also the most important problem, not to mention that it is in the army, if it is not handled properly, it is possible that the whole army will be wiped out, and there has never been such an example in history!

A quarter of an hour later, the crowd arrived at a barracks.

It was a small barracks, and there was only one person living in it.

Far outside, several wails could be heard from inside, two scarves were guarded at the door, and the surrounding walls and floors were already covered with lime.

"General, you can't go in!"

When the school captain saw that Wang Ziteng was about to go in and take a look, he immediately stopped him.

The other generals who followed also immediately advised: "The general is in danger of the safety of the three armies, and he must not be in danger, just let the last general and others go in to check!" ”

Wang Ziteng hesitated.

When the other two generals saw this, they immediately ordered the miscellaneous soldiers next to them to sprinkle lime on them, and also brought scarves like guards, and went in to check on them.

Jia Qing watched from the side and nodded secretly.

In their experience and summaries, the ancients also had some ways to deal with epidemics. Although not necessarily entirely scientific, as they may be faced with any strange illness are doing so.

Wang Ziteng asked, "What about the medical officer?" ”

"The Medic is already in."

Wang Ziteng said: "Vacate all the barracks around twenty paces, and all sergeants with abnormalities on their bodies, regardless of their positions, will be held in solitary confinement." ”

"Yes!" No one hesitated Wang Ziteng's order. The plague, that's the one that makes everybody talk about it.

It's not certain yet, but they can't help it.

"Make a fire, light a torch......"

The prince pondered all the ways in which he could suppress the plague.

The lives of 200,000 soldiers and the safety of Dachu are at stake, and no matter how careful they are, they can't be overdone.

Jia Qingyi sighed: "General, let me go in and have a look." ”

No matter how you say it, Jia Qing is also a scientifically educated person. He knew that in fact, most of the plagues in this era were not so terrifying, but people did not know the right way to deal with them, so they were afraid of this.

Epidemic disease is nothing more than a pathogen infection, and its spread requires conditions.

Unless you really encounter the kind of epidemic that can be transmitted by the air and is highly contagious, just like the "SARS" in later generations......

That is, the heavens are about to fall and the Great Chu cannot be changed.

But this is unlikely.

"Nonsense, what are you doing in there?" The prince said angrily.

"I've been reading magazines since I was a kid, and if I have a little bit of an opinion about the symptoms of these diseases, maybe I can see something.

Don't worry, general, I'm just looking at it from a distance, and I won't risk it. ”

The two generals were already ready, and when they heard this, they said, "Then let General Xiao Jia come in, we will watch and not let him get close to the patient." ”

Wang Ziteng frowned. In the face of this kind of thing, everyone is afraid to avoid it, and Jia Qing dares to take the initiative to step forward, maybe there is really some certainty.

He desperately needed to determine if the people inside had been infected with the disease.

So he nodded. So Jia Qing, like the two before, took precautions and followed them in.

In the barracks, there was only a small courtyard two zhang long and more than one zhang wide, and at this time there were four people lying crookedly, all with a loveless look on their faces.

The captain in charge of this military camp said: "The twelve people who originally lived in it were discovered early, and the other eight people have not yet appeared abnormal, and they have been transferred to the firewood room next to them to take care of them." ”

"Doctor Song, Doctor Qiao, can you see if it's an epidemic or not?" One of the generals who came in asked.

The two old medical officers who had passed the age of knowing the destiny of heaven stood up. One of them said: "We have seen all four people, and the symptoms on their bodies include fever, fatigue, anxiety, etc., and two of them also have ecchymosis.

It can be concluded that they really have the same disease, but it is not certain whether it is an epidemic or not. Maybe they've just eaten the wrong thing together, or they've been exposed to something that others haven't been exposed to at the same time.

It is only after a few days to see if the condition has deteriorated.

Now let's go and see the other people who live in this barracks with them......"

The two old medical officers were still of some level, there was no look of fear and anxiety on their faces, and they did not talk nonsense or alarmism, but they just said the truth.

"General, let's go too."

The lieutenant said to Jia Qing.

"Not busy, wait for me to ask them a few words."

Jia Qing said this, and when he saw a few people with surprised expressions on their faces, he said, "Generals, please watch from the side." ”

"Then you as soon as possible, we can't stay here for long."

"I understand."

Jia Qing turned around, looked at the four people who were lying on the ground with frightened faces, waiting for death, and said in a deep voice: "The cause has not been found out yet, so what are you afraid of?" But there is still a little bit of the spirit of a Da Chu soldier? Now, bring me all the ones who are not dead! ”

A few people were stunned for a moment, and without much hesitation, the two mild ones got up and walked over, approaching the two brothers in the army who were in pain and straight "ouch".

"Aren't you afraid of contracting the epidemic, this little general?"

One of them asked Jia Qingdao.

Jia Qing was still wearing the same set of clothes as the envoy, and it was easy to see his identity as a general.

Jia Qing didn't answer his question, but said, "I know that the epidemic is terrible, but even if it really happens, are you going to complain here, and then wait for death with your eyes open?"

How can you be worthy of your parents and relatives who are far away from home, and how can you be worthy of the generals who are bent on finding a way to heal you? ”

"General, he wants to heal us? Do we still have salvation? I feel like I'm dying......"

"That is, how could the general want to save us, and how could he save us? When such a situation occurs in the army, it is directly burned to death by fire to avoid passing it on to other brothers in the army......"

Jia Qing snorted coldly and said, "Have you ever seen someone pile firewood and grass in your barracks, or pour oil?" Since there is none, it means that the general has not decided to give up on you!

However, if you give up on yourself first, then you will not only neglect the general's love for the army, but also feel sorry for the brother in the army who was born and died with you. Because every moment of your life is the one they put you at risk.

Anyone who is so selfless and wants to die immediately without affecting his brother, now take this sword and wipe his neck! ”

Jia Qing pulled out the sword at his waist and threw it on the ground.

The four looked at each other. If they live, who wants to die?

Qi Qi glanced at each other, and one of them knelt down and said, "We are not afraid of death, but we don't want to die either!" What to do, please make it clear to the little general! ”

Jia Qing smiled slightly.

"Very good, this is our good son! You don't need to do anything, you just need to answer a few of my questions honestly and carefully, let me understand how you got sick, and then we can find a way to heal you. ”

"Little General, excuse me."

"What's your name?"

Although several people didn't understand why Jia Qing asked their names, they still replied in turn:

"My name is Niu Zhu."

"My name is Chen Yingying."

"My name is Feng Fugui."

"My name is Zhao Dawa."

Hearing these names, Jia Qing knew that these people must have come from a bitter background, and their parents loved them very much.

"What is your position in the military?"

Niu Zhu replied: "We are all the vanguard sentries of the Tanma Battalion, I am the captain, and they are all my brothers. ”

Scouts? Jia Qing's heart moved, and he continued to ask, "Then how long was the last time you carried out a mission?" But what's out of the ordinary, especially one that you think could give you this strange disease? ”

They were so sick that they were the only ones in their barracks who had brought it back from outside.

Niu Zhu said: "We also went out on a mission yesterday, and there is nothing abnormal......

"Yes~"

Before Niu Zhu finished speaking, Chen Fugui suddenly said in a weak voice.

He was one of the two people with more severe symptoms.
